1965 Map of Norfolk North

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Willoughby Spit and Sewells Point anchor this mid-century look at the intensive naval and urban infrastructure of Norfolk. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling U S Naval Reservation and Naval Air Station, illustrating the strategic maritime importance of the Hampton Roads region. Significant residential expansion is visible through established neighborhoods like Larchmont, Edgewater, and Wards Corner, many of which developed to support the growing military presence. Educational and civic growth is marked by institutions such as Old Dominion College and Granby High Sch. Along the Elizabeth River, the industrial character of the city is evident at the Lamberts Point Terminal, while the northern coastline is defined by the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel connecting to the larger bay area. These details capture a period of mid-century modernization and military consolidation before late-century urban shifts.
